Baby, It's Cold Outside... not really

DID YOU KNOW... Gremlins was filmed mostly at Universal Studios and Warner Brother Studios. While the movie takes place during Christmas, all the snow was actually fake. The actors had to wear winter clothes under the hot California sun while filming outdoor scenes in the daytime.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOE DANTE!

Today is the 75th birthday of Gremlins director, Joe Dante! In addition to Gremlins 1 and 2, he directed some of my favorite films, including The Burbs, Small Soldiers, and Innerspace. Here's hoping he's having a blast today! Happy birthday, Joe!

Happy Thanksgiving!

DID YOU KNOW... Though it does get mentioned in Gremlins 2, Gizmo has never actually gotten his own Macy’s Thanksgiving parade balloon. However, the Gremlins do have their own parade float at Warner Bros Movie World in Australia. The float features a recreation of the kitchen from the movie, as well as a large Gizmo mascot.

Is Gremlins a Christmas movie?

Does Gremlins count as a Christmas movie? The film's music makes a really good case for it. Here's today LEGO Gremlins' fast fact!🎄

DID YOU KNOW... Gremlins features several Christmas songs as part of the film's musical score, including Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), Do You Hear What I Hear? and Silent Night. At one point in the movie, the Gremlins even sing Joy to the World while they carol Mrs. Deagle.

DID YOU KNOW... In Gremlins, the creatures are shown watching Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the movie theater because that film was initially released in theaters during the Christmas season. Snow White premiered on December 21st, 1937.

The countdown to the holidays continues! Here's today LEGO Gremlins' fast fact!🎄

Merry Gremlins!

With the holidays coming up in about month, it's time to launch a 'new batch' of LEGO Gremlins trivia!🎄

DID YOU KNOW... While Gremlins was rushed for a Summer release date, the film's success brought audiences back to theaters in time for the holidays. To promote the film, a Santa Claus-inspired Gremlin was used for the marketing campaign.

Project UPDATE!

With the winter holidays coming up in a few months, I’m kicking off the next leg of our campaign for Gremlins with a new addition to the set. Say "hello" to Pete (Corey Feldman) in his Christmas tree costume!

While Pete isn't a LEGO minifigure, he will be in scale with the rest of the minifigs. I figured this mini build would be a fun way to pack in another fan-favorite character into the set. ᕲ(◕◡◕)ᕳ
